Mommy Memories

I am taking the time to write at my own free will. Read if you want, or just check back later for pictures of the handsome prince himself!

The great debate will continue, and I will continue to ignore the pros and cons of both sides. I am talking about the "stay-at-home moms" vs. the "working moms." Because, who is really to say which is right or wrong? And by definition, I have stayed at home and I was always working. As my husband liked to say, I just wasn't getting paid.

Now, I am working in the home and out of the home. My career has afforded me the summer off with my son. So, I wanted to take this rare time to record my thoughts and realizations. I enrolled Jack in a brief summer camp (just this week, a few hours a day). I dropped him off this morning, and his excitement could hardly be contained. But he took a moment to hug me good-bye and blow me a kiss.

That may be a typical scene for most moms, however, it almost brought tears to my lubricated eyes. I saw the enthusiasm Jack had for the day's activities. I also saw the love he had for me as he kept saying, "Bye, Mom!" Whether I am always at home with him, or not, we will always love each other. Later, he might not admit it. And blowing me kisses will be in the past.
